Walk Around the Yard

March 5, 2010

A  few weeks ago I visited my in-laws in Georgia.  There is usually an abundance of photographic opportunities throughout their property.  Whether it be my mother-in-law’s many beds of beautiful flowers attracting all sorts of critters or the neighboring ducks that visit for a daily snack.  Well, this visit nothing was buzzing, just a few chirps from the birds flying above.  A rare snow storm had just passed through and all the usual blossoms and critters were in a warmer place. I challenged myself to walk around and look for other anything that caught my eye.

It amazes me how much little “G” has grown since I first met her! She is still cute as ever, not failing to mention her brother “N” who I finally had the joy of meeting! Thanks to their parents for letting me enjoy a little garden time with them.

A Charlotte Wedding

April 27, 2009
While some couples choose traditional style photography for their weddings, others opt for a photojournalist’s approach.   This approach allows the photographer to capture moments which otherwise would be missed.  The groomsmen helping each other adjust their ties, the guests’ emotions during the ceremony, the bridesmaids sharing stories of friendship, all of these moments are part of a story: a wedding story.   I recently had the opportunity to photograph a wedding alongside  photographer Ryan Sumner. Ryan is the Creative Director for Fenix Fotography in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Please be sure and check out Ryan’s diverse portfolio of fashion, editorial, sports, and other photography works at FenixFoto.com.  Here are a few moments captured through my lens…
